[Xitami] IP numbers,etc.

[Many Lists]

Many domain registars now include the ability to use their DNS so that
is a service you should not need to pay extra for.  www.registerfly.com

Also if you pay for a static IP address you should not need a domain
forwarding service.

Hostheaders are ultimately the way to go.

You've graduated from webhost 101 to 201 now.

You have several options:
    1. Buy a static IP from your ISP.  If your ISP supports static(not 
changing) IP's that you'll pay anywhere from $ .01 to $20 extra a month.
    2. Get a DNS forwarding service.  These service work by linking a 
third level domain(Example: myname.tzo.com) to your IP address.  You 
then put a little program on your server. That program will every few 
minutes yells out to the service and say "I'm here" so to keep you IP# 
fresh. If watch this mail list people will give you serveral services. 
 I personally like TZO.com but other like DNS2GO.com and ww.myserver.org

work just as well..  Depending on the level of service the offer the 
services will run you from free to $100/month.
    3. Make your own service.  I have a couple of domains that point to 
my home system.  So if someone types in home.yumyum.ws they hit my main 
server which then redirectes them to my server in my house.
